About ALSO.

We’re ALSO, an electric mobility company originally conceived as a part of Rivian. We’re a passionate team of builders, dreamers, doers and innovators, focused on creating entirely new (not to mention, innovative and delightful) vertically integrated, small EVs designed to meet the global mobility challenges of today and tomorrow. Our mission is to inspire everyone to ride ALSO—replacing many local car, truck and SUV miles with ones on vehicles that are more affordable, more enjoyable and 10-50x more efficient.

ALSO is looking for a Systems Engineering Manager to lead requirements and feature development across our electric mobility vehicle platforms.

What You'll Do

• Drive architecture and requirements development for a cross-functional micromobility vehicle platform program (Electrical Engineering, Firmware, Product Design) from a systems engineering perspective, ensuring alignment from concept through validation
• Serve as the primary technical interface between customers and ALSO leadership to capture product intent and translate it into clear system artifacts, including user stories, CONOPS, and use cases
• Define and manage requirements at the system, subsystem, and hardware module levels, collaborating closely with internal stakeholders across low-voltage electronics, battery and energy storage systems, drivetrain and actuators, connectivity and telematics, HMI, and sensor systems
• Ensure end-to-end traceability across user stories, features, system requirements, subsystem requirements, and verification/validation test cases
• Develop and maintain system architectures for distributed embedded controllers, including interface definitions and communication protocols, functional decomposition and allocation, and fault detection, handling, and system-level robustness
• Collaborate closely with software engineers, electrical engineers, product designers, product managers, and UI/UX teams to drive CONOPS, activity diagrams, feature design, development, and validation
• Develop state machines, such as power states for the platform
• Support end-to-end feature validation, contributing to the definition and execution of test cases and test plans across bench and HIL testing, vehicle-level bring-up, and system integration and performance validation

What You'll Bring

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or related field
• 8+ years of professional experience in systems engineering or embedded software development
